Until: 12 November 2017 at 13:00 PM

Location: Turbi Hills Shellhole, Louis Trichardt

Details:

On Sunday, 12 November, the South African National Defence Force, military veterans and civilians will spend two minutes remembering those who had made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their country as part of Remembrance Day.

At 05:00 on Monday, 11 November, 1918, a document was signed that brought an end to the First World War. At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of that year, the guns fell silent. The war that was supposed to end all wars had come to an end, but not before an estimated nine million people had lost their lives.

To pay homage those who died in the war and subsequent wars, Remembrance Day is commemorated annually. The Memorable Order of Tin Hats (MOTHs) of Louis Trichardt will be holding their annual Remembrance Day parade and wreath-laying ceremony on 12 November at 10:30 for 11:00 at their Turbi Hills Shell hole at 66 Burger Street.
